Summary
Carlos Moreno is a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a decade-plus of experience crafting accessible, high-performance web applications and a specialty in front-end engineering using HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and React. He pairs pixel-perfect UI implementation with robust backend work in Python/Django and PostgreSQL, having driven large accessibility remediations, performance optimizations (cutting core form load from 60+ to under 10 seconds), and data-backed visualizations using DuckDB. A former PhD research scientist, Carlos brings experimental rigor and hardware tinkering instincts to software design, translating fuzzy requirements into shippable features and reusable systems. He’s a pragmatic team leader and mentor who improves developer experience via tooling and workflow changes, writes automation scripts for testing and deployments, and serves as the bridge between designers, engineers, and stakeholders. Based in the U.S., he’s delivered impactful work across startups and enterprise teams—from Oracle to music-fintech—while retaining a maker’s curiosity for hardware and data-driven problem solving.
